A Fall Garden Is Worth Money to You 
Right here at the end of our vegetable seed list we want to again urge you to make full use of the late summer and fall garden op¬ 
portunities. We do this, not especially because we have seed to sell, but because we want you and every other person in the South to 
be prosperous; to have what is due you in the way of the comforts and simple luxuries of life. 
On page 20 we give a list of plantable vegetables at this season. It’s a worth while list, a list that if growing in your garden will 
everlastingly cut down store bills and fill your table with healthful food that will leave you and your family far better off in the way 
of health than ever before. 
The South is comparatively poor as compared with the states farther north. The individual farmer on the average farm in Georgia 
or Mississippi or Texas is far from being as well off as his brother farmer in Missouri or Kansas or Ohio. Yet in the natural advan¬ 
tages of crops, climate, rainfall, long growing seasons, soil, etc., we of the South have an advantage over the man in the North. 
There is a reason for this and it’s a simple one. That Kansas farmer who rides around in an automobile “lives at home and boards 
at the same place.” His store bill is confined to such small items as coffee, sugar, salt and a few minor items like them. He buys 
nothing that he can raise on his own acres. 
He pays no man a profit, no railroad a transportation charge on what he, his family and his live stock consume. The average South¬ 
ern farmer pays a list of profits, transportation and interest charges that w ? ould bankrupt any mercantile or manufacturing business 
in the city in a year. 
The place to get a large part of your table supplies from during the growing season is from your own garden plot; the place to get 
canned vegetables and fruits from in winter is from your own shelves and not the supply merchant’s. 
Y r our flour, meal, corn, oats, etc., must come from your own acres, and not the merchant’s or grain dealer’s. 
Let this be done and the South will accumulate farm wealth in a manner that will discount all gold mining operations the world 
ever saw. The summer and fall garden is a starter in this direction; followed in October and November by oats, wheat, rye, barley, 
etc. These things regularly followed spell wealth for you in time, and not a very long time either.
